If our future is digital, what will be the biggest advance?

Our world is full of screens. We keep them in our hands, purses and pockets, next to our beds while we sleep, and we surround ourselves with screens on our desks and countertops. What if all of our screens, everywhere, were a two-way networked system that turns the Earth into a digital room with everyone in it? What if that networked system provided everyone with the best services, resources and knowledge in the world based on what we do, as a normal part of everyday life?

If your future devices were continuous and served you, your control over all your devices and the continuous digital world that they could open up for you could expand exponentially.

Switch between multiple screens. When you exit your previous screen, it stores “where” and “who” you are, then turns off. Your new screen recognizes you, turns on, recovers “where” and “who” you are, puts you “there”. It is truly automatic.

All kinds of things are in front of you, with you. They can be people, services or places. They can be applications or software, digital content (books, TV shows, movies, music, recorded videos and more), games or live videos of events around the world. It could even be other devices and sources that you control remotely.

Your digital life will always be on, always open, always yours. You will live in your “Shared Planetary Living Spaces”.

Combine anything in the digital “shared space” you want to inhabit, until you switch to a different one. Then change again.

In fact, it is so real that your “shared spaces” move with you across your screens and become one of your realities. It is the digital world you choose, where you can live. Always ready for you to use it the way you want.

Much of your life is already centered on you. Your digital life will then allow you to become the person you’ve always dreamed of.

Your digital life is a real life. Wherever you really are.

For billions of people across the Earth, yesterday’s world is not succeeding or fixing problems fast enough. Too many are stuck, educated, aware, capable, and connected, but locked into a limited future rather than free to fly.

Isn’t it time that your reality was yours, continued and under your control?

Another thing that future technology will offer is called active knowledge. What if the best knowledge, tools, resources, and opportunities for success could be delivered as part of what we do every day, while using our screens? They could all perform as well as the best in the world.

Then, with a universal interface, everyone could push the limits of the physical world from anywhere. It doesn’t matter if you are in Silicon Valley or in a small town in Africa.

You will be a global person who connects everywhere. The entire world and your best knowledge and resources will be local to you, at your fingertips, under your control.

Everyone could make it to the top.

Is it time to expand today’s limited devices and expand today’s limited world? Should we start a digital world where everyone can choose to be their best, where greatness could be normal?

This will not happen overnight. But unlike any previous generation in history, we know how to design and build our dreams.

One day greatness will be within our grasp. But instead of waiting, can we reach it now?
